Unidentified objects seen 45,000ft over Texas by Howie Mandel - 15/3/25

This is a bit LIZ. What we know:

- Objects spotted at 45,000ft (as confirmed below) by pilots over Texas.
- The object gets bright, turns and then stops.
- Then it disappears.
- Two other objects also appear in the video.

These look like starlink flares. Seeing these towards the east means they'll be in the morning a few hours before sunrise.

Hmm, does the MFD not say they are heading 267, which would be west, not east? It not easy to read, but the other text on the compass rose also seem to show 30, 33 and N - which suggests the 267 is right?

Howie posted this video apparently showing him in Epcot (Florida) the day before the UFO video, so possibly supporting the hypothesis he was flying west - home to California?

The video was posted on 14 March 2025 at 15:57UTC (time decoded with Unfurl), so the flight was presumably overnight 13/14 March local time.

I can find one likely candidate at 45,000ft on approximately that heading over Texas that night (is the heading shown on the cockpit display magnetic?)

N41DP flew from Jacksonville (Cecil) to Van Nuys and was on that heading over western Texas around 4.30 to 4.45 UTC on March 14.

Challenger 300 cockpit looks like a match to the video.

That flight (kml attached) puts it right in the Starlink Flare zone when it was flying west over Texas:

This is the clearest view of the MFD I can get, clearly 267 heading

This is a bit LIZ. What we know:

You sure about that? I'd say that there's enough looks-like-a-satellite, seen-where-a-satellite-would-be-seen, and seen-when-a-satellite-would-be-seen information to have fair confidence it can be concluded to be a satellite.

- Objects spotted at 45,000ft (as confirmed below) by pilots over Texas.

Are they, or you, confusing "spotted at" and "spotted from"? They're very very very different things, in particularly around a globe earth.
(EDIT: your thread title seems to imply you're maintaining the object altitude is 45000ft - in which case, what were you basing that on?)

- The object gets bright, turns and then stops.

Claim not in evidence. I see neither turning nor stopping. Can you stabilise the video to make your claim clearer?
